    Genie+ during Spring Break Crowds

    This is how our MK went last spring break. G+ was pretty much useless, though we did get an awesome spot to view the parade. That was about it.

    To Pay Off or Not To Pay Off

    I have no interest owing debt in my name and my credit score is above 800. My name is not on our mortgage, we do not have car loans, and I pay our credit cards off in full each month. There is no need at all to pay interest to have a high credit score.

    Debt Dumpers 2022

    If the credit card interest rate is higher than the mortgage interest rate, it would help you much more financially to be putting this extra payment to the credit card until it is paid off.

    Possible switch to Universal from Disney - Pros Cons?

    If they like those rides, then they will love the Dr. Suess area. My kids were 9, 9, and 10 and loved the one fish two fish ride that is the same spinnnig/raise and lift format.

    Rental Car Prices are STUPID!

    I make my reservation through Costco and keep making/canceling/making reservations. We are just a few weeks away from our trip and so far the price has gone down 300 in the last few weeks. My 8-day minivan rental is down to $540.

    It is actually super easy to do yourself! No need to pay an advisor. I do our backdoor ROTHs every January with Vanguard.

    Debt Dumpers 2022

    This depends entirely on what tax bracket you are in and what tax bracket you are likely to be in in the future. We are currently in a higher tax bracket than we will be in when we retire, so we max 401k and HSA before going to ROTH.

    Debt Dumpers 2021

    I have to say that we have stayed at Yacht Club for all the reasons that your DH has laid out and I loved it all. It is my favorite resort and the access to Epcot for food is fantastic.

    Help me plan universal vacation with kids

    This is what we did. We are going to Universal for the first time in 2 weeks. We waited until all the kids will now be over 50 inches. So many of the things they wanted to ride they had to be tall for and the rides without restrictions did not seem as interesting to us as the Disney ones.

    Dining reservations worried and confused...

    We are arriving on the10th until the 14th and we made dining reservations for each night except one, when we want to go to Toothsome, which doesn't take them. We also have a lunch reservation for Mythos. We have them at Bob Marley, Cowfish, Trattorio Del Porta, and Vivo Italian. Edited to add...

    HSA Investing

    Isn’t that the same for all retirement accounts? I don’t think I have ever heard of anyone regretting that they saved and invested for the future.

    I am not the OP, but thank you for posting this! I just looked at pictures and this does come with a large amount of veggies. My meat-loving kids will happily help me with the bangers.

    PORTOFINO BAY HOTEL INFO...FAQ`s and more.......

    We have just moved our CL stay from HR to PBR for the larger rooms. I have a quick question for you all, I read back, but didn't see it. My kids go to bed relatively early even on vacation at 8pm (they wake up by 6am no matter what), so quiet around that time is especially important to us. Is...
